Patent CA-2489950-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SABER ELI S
IPC: G06T11/00
Filed: 2004-12-08
Abstract: A method for sharpening the corners of digital image data within an anti-aliasing image path so as to overcome corner rounding when displayed or printed. The method comprises stepping a window across the image data and comparing that windowed data to templates or performing Boolean logic and arithmetic operations on the image data. Upon determining a match or a corner detection, pixel values are substituted in the identified pixel locations to achieve a clustering of the substituted pixel values about the corner structure producing a corner-enhanced digital image. Filtering and sampling are then performed according to an anti-alias operation to the corner-enhanced image to produce an anti-aliased corner enhanced image. The data substitution will achieve a localized clustering or "ear" of toner/ink, or in the alternative for inside corners the localized clustered absence of toner/ink.  The result of this clustering is a sharpening of the corners so that they display or print as intended by the bitmap.

The machine part (17) is movable in the direction of the longitudinal axis (23) thereof. The effective surface (22) of the machine part (17) can be placed against the grinding disk (15) at the line of contact (28), vertical grinding being done by means of the cylindrical outer contour of the first grinding disk (15) such that the cutting speed is constant across the entire axial dimension of the first grinding disk (15) and a very good grinding result is obtained. The first grinding disk (15) is mounted in a floating manner on a grinding spindle (14) along with a second, narrower grinding disk (16). The second grinding disk (16) can be brought into an operating position, in which the cylindrical peripheral areas of the machine part are to be machined by means of longitudinal grinding, by swiveling the spindle (14) about two swiveling axes that are located perpendicular to each other and by displacing the grinding spindle (14) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (23), the machine part remaining in the same clamped position. The inventive working method results in shortened cycle times while providing for a very good grinding result.

Title: Methods and apparatuses for optimizing resource management in cdma2000 wireless ip networks
Inventor: YEGANI PARVIZ
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2004-06-08
Abstract: An invention is disclosed that optimizes resource management within a Packet Data Serving Node PDSN. This is accomplished through the modification of a Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting (AAA) server. Specifically, when a node (e.g., mobile node) is authenticated by a AAA server in response to a request by a target PDSN to which the node has roamed, the AAA server may send a disconnect request message to a source PDSN indicating that the node has moved from the source PDSN. In this manner, the source PDSN is notified that it should terminate its session with the node and release resources associated with the session (e.g., Point-to-Point Protocol session). The source PDSN may then send a message to the AAA server indicating whether the session was successfully terminated and whether the resources associated with that session were released).
